I like Star Wars but there's nothing Bape about those tees.

Joints look like the movie tees they use to sell at K-Mart back in the day.

And I looked at the tag inside my shark pants and it says made in China, I thought they were made in Japan?

Hardly any bape pieces are made in Japan anymore it's been outsourced to china after I.T. bought the brand.. hence the cheap screen prints you will find on the stuff now a day...
I have bape tees 13 years old with no chips in the print... these newer tees won't last 13 washes..

Most of my older bape tees, the screen print is still strong and not one crack. All the China made tees you would be lucky to get 2 good washes out of it before noticing cracks in the screen print. Now I just take it to the dry cleaner so it doesn't **** up the screen print.

after what year would the difference in quality change?
Right befor Nigo got bought out... the differences between Japan and China production is so drastic that it makes me throw up in my mouth that they are doing better now rather than before. The outsourcing also made production costs cheaper but they increased price points in the states... I don't think anyone in Japan cares for bape anymore unless it's a toy.

Have an option to buy this Nigo era hoodie for $80. Pretty much brand new. Really tempting

Bape x Trophy Room pop up is only 10 min away from here in Orlando. Usually it's 40 min. Hmmmm rather deal with online though.

I'm wondering how much pondon will charge for those pieces, usually is about equal to us retail, even $50 more for convenience is fine with me for that collection

That collaboration is the weakest thing I've seen in the past 5 years.

Bape US has the space camo crew and zip hoody up back in big sizes again. Could it be a restock of some items?

Probably but it's most likely better to cop off pondon or Japan with a forwarding service
